Sorry! Ok so it took me a couple months to update. Too bad, it takes you too long to review! I don't even get that many. :(

Anyways, here you go, chapter six. Sorry it's so boring!

Chapter 6: Friday I'm in Love

It's Friday, I'm in love...

"Seifer?!" Selphie exclaimed, "As in Seifer Almasy?

"Yes. And how is it you know him?" Rinoa asked impassive to Selphie's stunned nature.

"Uh, he goes to our school! He went along time ago, got kicked out and came back recently after being kicked out of another school." She told Rinoa.

"He what? How come I've never seen him around?" She asked in disbelief.

"Well, he takes different courses than us, since he's older, and it is a pretty big school. But that's beside the point! No matter what you cannot go back to him! Selphie explained in a tone Rinoa was un-familiar with.

"Yeah, you're right. I can stay with other people who won't end up hurting me like he did." She said.

"Good. I'll help you pack." Selphie smiled.

Rinoa picked up the phone and began to dial. "Hello, Carrie? Yeah it's me! How have you been? That's good. Oh really? Cool. Hey, Faye kicked me out, can I crash at your place? I mean, it's ok if I can't. I can go somewhere else. Really? Awesome, I'll be there soon. Love ya too Hun. Ciao."

Rinoa set the phone back on its cradle. "Cool, my friend said I could stay at her place. She has awesome parties, so if your board, you can stop by anytime." She said as she threw clothes and random objects into her Hello Kitty suitcase.

"You'll still go to garden right?" Selphie asked.

"Of course. According to juvenile court, I don't have a choice. The thing is, it's really far away so I'm going to have to take the metro every day, which means I have to get a job."

"That's good, since you just came and all. But, the metro? Isn't there someone closer?" Selphie asked her.

"No, not that I can think of." She told her.

Selphie sighed. "Hey, did you know Squall and Seifer, like, hate each other?"

"I just found out they knew each other last night when I ran in to him at the bar." Rinoa answered.

"Really?" Selphie asked excitedly "What happened?"

"Nothing much. But Squall did get rid of Seifer for me, which was so sweet." Rinoa said almost giggling.

"Oh-la la, Rinoa. I never knew he could be such a gentlemen. He always kind of acts like...well, he's like, kind of a loner and stuff. He can be an asshole a lot of the time, and is all bad-ass, but when he's around you, he acts differently." Selphie stated.

"That's weird. But I guess it's cool too." Rinoa said.

"Very. Done packing yet?" She asked looking at the full suitcase and backpack.

"Yep. Goodbye Faye." Rinoa answered, placing a note down on her bed, and walking towards the door.

"Dude, that was fucking weird last night." Zell suddenly stated.

"Tell me about it." Squall said, looking in the refrigerator.

"What was so weird that you had to use such an lovely adjective for?" Said a tall man that waked into the kitchen, his green eyes remaining on the envelopes in his hands.

"Ah! Mr. Loire, I'm sorry, I didn't see you there! Please excuse my language." Zell answered nervously.

"Calm down Zell, I'm not going to burn you at the stake." He laughed. "So where exactly were you two last night? When Libby noticed you weren't in your room, she had Ashley checked the whole house to look for you. You were no-where to be found. Now was it my imagination, or did you promise Libby you'd take her out last night? Ellone had to do it all..." He asked sounding very disappointed.

S2 Enter Libby. The four and a half year-old half sister of Ellone, Rick and Squall. One shouldn't be fooled by her angelic face. Behind the facade is a little mischievous child waiting to make trouble for anyone who doesn't please her. She's been spoiled to the core by her rich mother and father and expects everyone else to do the same. S2

"We were out with a couple of friends from school." Squall replied bluntly.

"Hm, interesting. And who were these friends exactly? Did they happen to be girls?" His father continued.

"Yes, in fact they were girls," Squall said pulling up a chair, sounding irritated.

"Do I know these girls?" Laguna asked, sounding like he actually cared.

"You know one of them. Selphie Tilmitt?" He answered, not fully paying attention to his father.

"Selphie?" Laguna's face was shocked, why was a sweet girl hanging out with Squall? "Who was the other girl?" He continued.

Squall sighed, tired of the interrogation, "A new girl. You don't know her, obviously."

"I see. Did you meet her in detention Squall?" He asked in a sarcastic tone.

"Look, I don't have to tell you anymore than what you already know. What I do on my time is my business, not yours. So get out of my face." He said, clenching his jaw.

"Wrong." He shouted, slamming his hands on the table where Zell and Squall sat.

"I'm your father and I have the right to know what you are doing at all times. And you'll do what I say. Do I make myself clear?"

"Oh yeah? The only person ever around to tell me what to do is Ellone. So why the hell should I listen to you?" He yelled back.

After an awkward moment of silence and Laguna's attempts to control his rage, Squall said, "This is bullshit, I'm out."

With that he picked up his jacket and left.

Zell stood there in utter shock. Why do I always see the drama?

"Uh, g-goodnight Mr. Loire." He said following Squall out the door.

They got into the truck and Squall slammed the door. "Goddamn, he's such an asshole..." He muttered.

"Hey Squall, where exactly are we going?" Zell asked as they pulled out of the driveway.

"Don't know, don't care." He replied.

As they drove further into town, they saw two familiar girls walking down the street. One with a backpack, the other with a suitcase.

Squall pulled over and the girls looked up.

"What the hell are you guys doing?" Zell asked.

Selphie sighed "We're going down to the metro station so Rinoa can get to her friends house. What about you guys?"

"We're driving 'cause Squall got in a fight with his dad." Zell answered.

"Again?" Selphie asked.

"Can we get on with this?" Squall suddenly shouted, "We'll give you guys a ride."

"Really? Yay." Rinoa said, finally speaking.

She put the two bags in the truck bed and they hopped in the backseat.

"So where exactly is your friends house?" Squall asked as they drove down the street.

"In Regan..." She answered.

"What?! How the hell are you getting to school?" Zell exclaimed.

"I was gonna either take the bus or walk." She shrugged.

"It's like, a 20 minute drive, so how the hell would you walk here?" Squall asked in disbelief.

"I don't know. I wish I had a car." Rinoa said.

Zell looked at Rinoa, then to Selphie, and back at Squall.

Squall gave a small sigh and said, "I can take you to and from school everyday."

Zell and Selphie looked at him in incredulity. Squall being compassionate wasn't something they were used to.

"Oh, no, that's way too much trouble, I can fide another way. Really, it's ok." Rinoa replied.

"No, it's not. It's ok... I want to." He answered.

"Thank you..." She said quietly, not quite believing some would want to do that for her.

"Forget about it." Squall said, and continued to drive as Selphie and Zell remained in a state of utter shock.

"Who the hell does he think he is?!" Laguna shouted

"He's always had a rebellious father. He just got put on Garden probation last week, this isn't something unexpected. Plus, he's a teenage boy." Ellone answered.

Laguna sighed and rubbed his temples.

"What's wrong daddy? Did Squall do something bad again?" A little girl with long, wavy brown hair asked.

He looked down into his daughters sparkling emerald eyes.

"It's nothing honey, don't worry about it."

She giggled as a tall woman with red hair walked into the room.

"Dinners ready. Where are the boys?" She asked setting down a bowl of food.

"Squall ran off again, and Rick's upstairs." He replied.

"Again...Laguna, you need to do something about him. You don't want him to end up in jail do you?" Ashley retorted.

"Aww, is Squall at it again? Is he gone for good this time, cause then I could take out his bed and then I'd have more room for my weight training equipment." Rick said as he came down the stairs.

"No Rick, you may not. He's coming back anyways. He always does." Ashley said coldly in answer to her son's question.

"Where was he last night anyways?" Ellone asked.

"He was with his friends.... and some girl." Laguna told her.

Rick looked up and asked, "What girl?"

Laguna looked at him strangely.

"Some new girl from school..." He answered, sounding suspicious.

"Aw, what? He's scoring with Rinoa? Damn." Was all Rick said before looking back down at the food on his plate.

"Don't talk like that around Libby." Ellone said hitting him lightly on the head.

"Yeah!" Libby agreed sticking out her tongue at him.

Rinoa...why dose that name sound familiar?

"How much do you know about this girl Rick?" Laguna asked, trying to get as much information as possible.

"Not a lot. She came to the house to drop off Squall's book. She was really hot. I could tell Squall liked her." He answered shoving mashed potatoes in his mouth.

Rick decided not to tell Laguna anything else about Rinoa. Face it, she was a bad girl, and that means Laguna would not want her coming around anymore. And he wanted to be able to see her again.

"That's really all I know though."

Laguna looked down at his plate and began moved around peas with his fork.

"Well, we will discuss this later when Squall gets home." Ashley interrupted. "How was everyone's day?"

"My day was grrrrrrate mommy! Me and sis went to this store and we bought this thing and then when we got home we played with it and the neighbors dog came in our yard and we played with him. Then Clash played with him and we went inside and I drew a picture! Sis put it on the fridgeidator!" Libby exclaimed cramming the day into a few brief sentences.

"It's refrigerator, love." She laughed.

Ellone smiled and was about to add something, when they heard a door slam.

Squall walked pass them, and as he was about to head upstairs when he heard, "Stop. Where were you?"

Squall turned around and looked at his stepmother. "Out."

She looked at Laguna and they both stood up.

"In the living room, now." His father said sternly.

They walked down the corridor and into the room.

"Sit." He said as he crossed his arms.

"Where were you." He repeated in a serious tone.

Squall sighed, "I was giving my friend a ride."

"Which friend?" Ashley asked.

"Why does it matter?" He retorted.

"Because we want to know who your friends are." Ashley said.

"My friend Rinoa." He answered.

"I see." Laguna said "Where were you taking her and why?"

Squall let out a sigh of frustration. "I was taking her to her friends house in Regan. She was going to walk."

"Why was she going there? Why didn't her mother drive her?" Ashley asked, sounding as if it was her own child who was walking so far.

"She lives with her aunt, and they got into a fight so Rinoa is moving in with her friend." Squall told them reluctantly.

"She...how old is this girl? What happened to her parents?" Ashley asked.

"God..." Squall whispered, "She's 16. Her mother died along time ago and the court decided she'd live with her mom's friend because her dad was such a crappy father."

Ashley looked down. Pity? Embarrassment? Shock? Whatever the reason was for looking at the ground, or what the expression on her face was, would forever remain a mystery.

Laguna opened his mouth, "Squall, if this girl is going to have a bad influence on you-"

"If it's even possible for you to be any more of a hellion." Ashley interrupted.

"Ashley, please." Laguna said looking at her from the corner of his eye.

"If she is going to have a bad influence on you, we'd prefer you stop hanging around her."

"Fuck your preferences. You don't even know her." Squall yelled.

"Squall we-" Laguna started.

"I can hang around with whoever I want." He said, leaving the room. They heard the door to his bedroom slam shut.

"Hey, that's my room too!" Rick yelled form the hallway. Apparently the others had been watching the whole time.

When her and Squall walked into school on Monday, Rinoa noticed a familiar blonde giving her dirty looks.

"What the hell is she staring at?" She thought aloud.

"Huh?" Squall said looking over.

As soon as the girl saw him glance, she and the girl with her turned their heads.

"Forget about them."

"Yeah... so anyways what's up?" She asked gazing into his eyes.

He suddenly felt a rush come over him. Whenever she looked him straight into the eyes, he felt like he was on some kind of drug. He felt tranquil and tense at the same time.

"Squall?" Rinoa said.

Snap out of it! "Uh...nothing. Nothings up." He replied.

"Okay...you seem really out of it today. Are you sure you're alright?" She asked sounding concerned.

"Yeah." He said. Smooth Squall, real fucking smooth. What's your problem? You do not have feelings for this girl. She's just extremely attractive...

"Okay..." She said.

They walked into the classroom and sat down in the cold, hard desks. Selphie waved to Rinoa, and she waved back.

"Good Morning class!" The woman standing in the front of the room said cheerfully.

"I think Ms. Hendrix finally got laid." Squall whispered to Rinoa causing her to giggle.

People turned to them to see what her laughter was about.

When the class had its attention focused back to the instructor, she informed them that she had an announcement to make.

"As you know class, we have report cards coming out soon." The class groaned in unison.

"Oh, trust me, I'm just as excited as you." She said sarcastically.

"It seems that there are quite a few F's. I have decided to give you a project. It's worth 300 points and will affect your grade greatly, so I suggest you all work hard."

The class gasped and moaned, dreading the task they had been given.

"I hate math!" A random voice shouted.

"Oh, it's not that bad. Plus, I'm letting you work in pairs of your choice. But choose wisely, if you know your friend is a slacker, don't work with them." She told them.

Rinoa looked at Squall and flashed her white teeth, while he just smirked.

When they got out of class, and were heading to second period, Squall looked down at the instructions for the project.

"Maybe we should work on this at my house on Friday." He said nervously.

She smiled. "Yeah, okay."

Why was that so hard?

Selphie and Rinoa walked into the large dance room and stared at all the students off into their own clicks.

"Where's the dance teacher?" Rinoa asked to no one in particular.

"Mr. Imamura said he was tired of lazy pathetic students and stormed out of the room." One guy said wryly.

Selphie sighed. "Guys, this is Rinoa. She went to GBSA. I'm sure if she teaches some stuff she knows, we can be just as good as the cheer squad!" she said enthusiastically.

The students just gave her blank stares. "We don't even have uniforms." One girl said.

"So we'll fundraise. It's not that hard." Rinoa told them.

The girl nodded in agreement, and told the others, "I guess it wouldn't hurt to have her help us. She knows more than we do."

The others shrugged and looked desperately at Rinoa.

"Alright! Let's listen to what Rinoa has to say. Go Rin!" Selphie said as she stood next to the others, leaving Rinoa in front.

"Umm...ok. First things first, everyone get into two even horizontal lines. Arms length apart." She said unsure of herself.

The class moved around, and soon was in formation.

"OK. Um let's just stretch..." She said again, trying to remember everything she learned at her previous school.

After they were done, Rinoa examined the class. She smiled, as she started to think of an idea...

S2S2 S2S2 S2S2 S2S2 S2S2 S2S2 S2S2 S2S2 S2S2 S2S2 S2

"Come to the carwash tomorrow anytime from 10 AM to 4 PM! Help the dance team raise money for uniforms!" Rinoa yelled handing out flyers with her fellow teammates to random passerbies.

Some people held on to the paper, while others through them in he trashcan.

"Come on, there's gonna be chicks in bathing suits, and you get your car washed! What more do you want?" She continued with her advertising.

"You almost done?" A deep voice asked behind her.

"Hey Squall!" Selphie shouted.

"Hey." He replied.

"Yeah, I'm almost done." She said as she handed the rest of the flyers out.

The two were walking away when they heard "Bye you guys!" and saw Selphie wink.

Squall blushed while Rinoa just stuck out her tongue.

When they got to Squall's house they were greeted by Clash. The dog proceeded to jump on Rinoa and attempt to lick her.

"Clash, down!" Squall yelled. She was a stranger, why did he like her so much?

"He's so cute." She said petting the animal. Just as she got up a little girl walked into the room.

"Squall!" She shouted and motioned for him to pick her up. He did so and spun her around.

Ellone came in to greet her brother as well when Libby looked over Squall's shoulder and asked, "Whose she?"

"Be polite Libby." Ellone said calmly. She stretched out her hand towards Rinoa. "Hell, I'm Ellone, Squall's sister."

"Nice to meet you." Rinoa said taking her hand. "I'm Rinoa."

"And I'm Libby! Squall's lil sister!" She said waving a small hand.

He put her Libby down and said, "Ok, we need to do work now, so we'd like to be left alone."

"Squall wanting to do work? That's a first." Ellone joked.

"Whatever." He answered back.

"Ok, we'll let you two get to work now." Ellone said taking Libby's hand and going upstairs.

The two sat down on the couch and opened their textbooks.

"God, do you even know how to do this?" Rinoa asked, exasperated.

"Eh, kind of." He answered.

"I hate Ms. Hendrix, she gives too much work." She sustained.

He looked up, nodding in agreement. At the same moment, she noticed he was looking into her eyes. She flashed a small smile and looked back into his.

He tried to break it, but for some reason he couldn't. He felt himself leaning forward, as she did the same. They kissed, and while they did, the same thought kept going through Squall's head. "How did I let this happen? I'm in love..."
